I’ve noticed that lab people like to brag about the damage their labs have done. It’s like lab boot camp and everybody has a story. People with those rare perfect labs that don’t do anything wrong don’t get to join the club. They will, however join the club on their next lab because that perfection never happens twice.

I now have 5 minutes to list all of Mia’s shenanigans that I can think of:

I have one minute left, that’s all I can think of at the moment. I’ll tell you, looking at this list makes us look like the worst dog owners on the planet. Mia is sneaky, most of these events happened when she put herself in her crate before we went to bed/went out and each of us thought the other locked the door. She then subsequently goes counter surfing.

Knock on wood, she hasn’t gotten into anything in about 3 months. Maybe she’ll slow down now that she’s 4. We pretty much keep all drugs out of her reach and have a 5 pound weight on the trash can lid to keep her from opening it (and another 10+ pounds in the base of the can to keep her from knocking it over). She’s kind of lost her beach privileges after the corn cob surgery incident.

Robert and I are enjoying your stories about Miss Mia! Happy Birthday pretty girl. Abby and Maggie May enjoyed this also. I told them to not get any ideas. Mia, you are a little scamp!
Happy 4th Birthday!
Holly, Robert, Abby, and Maggie May

Mia tends to gravitate to things that can poison her. She’s really good about not shredding her toys (that was Scully in her youth) or eating underwear (Katelin’s specialty). Thank God Mia wasn’t into structural damage to the home as I’ve heard other peoples lab’s have done.
